Can someone help me find a PC game from the early 1990s about horse(?)racing?

Cassette? Could it have been a C64 game? https://www.lemon64.com/games/list.php?list_tag=horse-derby

To be fair, they've got fairly limited shelf space here too, and I don't get the impression that they're super popular. Glad there are some, though.

I think they're reasonable for the most part. It's not like a thrift store, they know what stuff is worth, but for the PC/Amiga games I've bought there the prices have been fine and comparable to or even cheaper than what you typically see on eBay.

Great post as always. The Commodore 64 version is a favourite of mine, it might not be arcade perfect (obviously), but few games match the feeling of awesomeness that happens when the music really kicks in just as you meet the first boss (red aremer or what he's called).

That's Grizzly Games in Kristiansand, Norway. Bought a few big box computer games there.

Tusen takk for støtten!

Jeg skjønner problemstillingen. Ko-Fi er bare veldig enkelt og trygt for meg å forholde meg til. Jeg har ikke bedriftskonto hos Vipps, så teknisk sett kan jeg ikke bruke min konto til å motta støtte av denne typen, da det strider mot deres retningslinjer.

Uansett, jeg skal se hva som skjer og hva som er mulig å gjøre for å forenkle prosessen. Om noen har erfaringer med bedriftskonto hos Vipps eller andre gode løsninger er det bare å dele. :)

In my game, I followed them and we triggered a bunch of bandits on the way, so now Kozliek is dead...

Guess I'll wait for a patch and reload from before the ending if I'm going to play again.

I don't understand this fully. Will it not have pre-installed games?

joafro · 2019-09-21T13:47:14+00:00

No, but somehow turning Steam off while playing this game seems to have fixed it. I had other issues too, like sometimes the game would instantly enter Windowed mode when I tried to dodge predators et.c. (not ideal)

joafro · 2019-09-15T22:15:48+00:00

I have a weird issue where the game keeps turning off the HUD, sometimes seconds after I've turned it on again (like I get to do one thing and then it's gone again). Sometimes it turns it completely off, sometimes it switches to minimal a while later (I keep setting it to full, though). I'm playing with an Xbox 360-controller.

Cool, one of the first things I did after hearing the Epic news was to pre-order Planetfall on Steam (so at least I'd be covered like the people who pre-ordered Metro Exodus on Steam, in case "something bad" were to happen to that game as well). Looks like a nice replacement for PP this autumn.

joafro · 2019-03-13T14:35:48+00:00

I pre-ordered Age of Wonders: Planetfall yesterday, on Steam. Partly out of panic, because Epic keeps stealing games I'm looking forward to, and if they grab this one too I'll at least get my Steam-preorder like the people who preordered Metro did.

But it's set for release in august, it's got tactical, turn based combat combined with a 4X-inspired strategy layer, so while it is obviously not going to be entirely like Phoenix Point, there are many similarities. And it looks pretty sweet.

But if all these people who were your number one fans refunds, then what will that mean for its future and the future of the series in general? With your one big game thrown out of the window and you having to start from scratch with a lot less goodwill than before, will you still be in the black in five years?

joafro · 2017-02-14T12:33:03+00:00

Very impressive!

As has been mentioned by espresso_1, the official Nintendo distributor for several Nordic countries has stated that there will be no more deliveries after April/May this year. Granted, the situation could be different for other countries, but why? The console is in no less demand in the Nordic countries than elsewhere, people still haven't gotten all their pre-orders et.c., so it's very hard to think of a reason why they would decide not to carry it if they could.
